Flights from Brisbane (BNE) to Beijing (BJS)

In-flight Dining
On Brisbane–Beijing journeys via Singapore, we serve complimentary meals in both Business Class and Economy Class on each sector, with menus designed to reflect regional flavours and time of day.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals for specific dietary needs on this route. You can request these in Manage Booking before departure, and they will be served in line with the regular meal service on board.

Book the Cook
On selected flights and in eligible cabins, you may be able to pre-select from an expanded menu using our Book the Cook service. Simply choose your preferred dish in advance to enjoy a tailored main course on board.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, is available throughout your flight, along with a curated range of alcoholic beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board if you would like a classic taste of our heritage.

For Brisbane–Beijing flights via Singapore, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Economy Class Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Economy Class Standard and Flexi fares, and 40kg for Business Class. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg in weight.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The exact allowance for your trip is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members are entitled to additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Brisbane and Beijing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase paid plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Brisbane–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing sectors operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class provides a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, offering comfortable legroom for the journey.

Business Class on this route offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, giving you ample space to rest or work throughout both flights.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport, depending on cabin and status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Brisbane but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is long enough, you can consider joining the official city sightseeing tour, which usually requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This gives you a short introduction to Singapores skyline and key districts before returning to the airport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable. Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet rest areas, free movie screenings in selected terminals, and family-friendly spaces where you can stretch, relax, or freshen up between flights.

If you prefer a more restful break, you can look for airport hotels or pay-per-use lounges within the terminal complex. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Brisbane operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10, and does not currently observe daylight saving time. Beijing uses China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing is therefore 2 hours behind Brisbane throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Brisbane via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Brisbane–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Beijing is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Brisbane–Beijing trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
